Mahindra XUV300 W2 Variant
The recently introduced W2 variant is positioned as a more basic and budget friendly option, serving as the base model. The W2 variant features a blacked-out front grille, halogen headlamps, though it lacks LED DRLs and fog lamps. Along its sides, this variant is equipped with 16-inch steel wheels without wheel covers, fender-mounted turn indicators, and body-colored ORVM and door handles. At the rear, it shares the same LED tail lamps as the other variants and includes an electric tailgate release. However, it does not include a rear defogger and a reverse parking camera.
In terms of the interior, the cabin maintains a simplistic design and showcases a steering wheel resembling those found in other versions. It shares the identical analog instrument cluster with a multi-information display, electrically adjustable ORVMs, manual climate control, steering modes, and power windows for all four doors. However, it lacks steering-mounted controls, an infotainment system, and several other features. In terms of safety, it is equipped with dual front airbags, a set of all-4 disc brakes, ABS with EBD, and speed-sensing door locks, along with various other features.
